Ebates, Pinecone, Swagbucks

I didn't end up getting my ebates payout on February 15, because I didn't meet the minimum redemption of $5.01. I'm at $3.28. My next opportunity to receive this money is May 15. I just need to remember to use the site for any online purchases.

I did a survey Friday for Pinecone. I expect to receive my $3 Paypal deposit today. I try to hold the money in my Paypal account until the end of the month, when I redeem all deposits in there and move them to our checking account in a lump sum.

I have over 600 Swagbucks in my account. I'm going to try to get to 2500 by months end. I might not make it, but it is a goal. That will equal $25 in Paypal cash. If I don't I will have Swagbucks ready for the beginning of the month to redeem for the $5 Amazon gift cards, which are 450 Swagbucks each.

I'm taking a road trip today back to our old town. My daughter has an orthodontist appointment. For now it is worth it to go back once a year to have her retainers checked. I've already paid the orthodontist for the visits, so might as well. It will cost some gas though.

It was a bit of a spendy weekend. I bought a large bag of cat food, flute music, groceries, and a new rechargeable toothbrush for my husband (it was on clearance). All of that was around $200. It seems sometimes money flows out rather quickly, luckily not all of the time.

Can you transfer the Paypal cash from SB to your checking account? If so, that's a good deal. I never realized you could do it. I hate going for anything other than the $5 Amazon cards because they're the best value, but cash is cash...

I'm saving cash to give as gifts for Christmas, so cashing out necessary. You are right I could use Swagbucks for purchases rather than Ebates, if the retailer is available. I know the first purchase I made with Ebates was a lighting company, that was not available at Swagbucks at the time. It is always good to shop around...even for cash back/points for purchases.

Pinecone pays for surveys at $3. You are never disqualified and are always paid cash. A better deal than the Swagbucks surveys...but of course, I take those too.
